Layer Two Adoption

Definition

Layer Two adoption measures the increasing use of scaling solutions built on top of primary blockchain networks. This term quantifies the rate at which users, developers, and applications are migrating to or building upon Layer 2 protocols designed to enhance a blockchain’s transaction capacity and reduce costs. It signifies a growing recognition of these scaling solutions as essential for overcoming the limitations of Layer 1 networks, such as slow transaction speeds and high fees. Higher adoption indicates a maturing ecosystem capable of supporting broader use cases.
